Toasty, winey. Orchids notes. Some smoke. Some grainy/cereal notes I’ve not picked up before, a bit like Grape Nuts; I guess that’s on the toasty end of the spectrum.

Addition: I normally drink my tea bare — no milk or sugar — but this evening I added maybe 2 tsp of 2% milk to this Keemun. The milk mutes the smokiness at first, yet seems to increase the smoke in the finish. Milk als amps up the wineyness. It’s nice, but I don’t enjoy it as much.

Sounds fenom….some Keemuns adding milk brings out the toasted bread…almost like a basso profundo in music…a very deep note of home milled bread. I can’t say that I’ve had a keemun that’s been winey really yet though. Then, maybe I’ve been spoiled by shu.
